Transformational Leadership

What is a leader?

What is the essence of effective leadership? The stereotype is a forceful, energetic and decisive figurehead who strides ahead, giving directions, making decisions and doling out rewards and punishments along the way.
However, when we think back to the leaders who have most influenced us, whether they be managers, teachers, scoutmasters or relatives, they earned our affection as much as our respect. They listened, supported, challenged and empowered us through their belief in our abilities. We knew they wanted the best for us and would go the extra mile to see that we achieved it. They were a quiet strength behind us, not a strident force ahead; in fact they were coaches to us.
Are these qualities the traditional skills associated with great leaders? No they are not, yet Daniel Goleman, author of best-seller ‘Emotional Intelligence’ (EQ), researched the field and discovered that when people talked about effective leadership at work, they were twice as likely to pinpoint the ‘soft’, EQ type skills mentioned above, like listening, supporting and empowering, rather than the IQ type criteria of knowledge, and experience. When they talked about leaders, the percentage went up to 85% ‘soft’ qualities as opposed to 15% ‘hard’.
Our Transformational Leadership programmes are tailor-made to suit your CEOs and senior executives. We help leaders identify their strengths and develop their own authentic, congruent leadership style; we provide them with simple management skills and tools to enhance delivery of the leadership style they aspire to.

This is what our previous clients have said:

“Carol Wilson has worked with the Executive team as an Executive Coach and provided both Communication and Leadership Training. She worked with the CEO and the COO to enhance their leadership skills to drive performance. She has built an excellent rapport with her coachees and the results are having a positive effect on the team and on overall performance. We have seen energy levels increase, relationships within the team have improved and managers feel more empowered to do their roles.

The programs are tailored and she works in a highly collaborative and embracing way to ensure maximum benefit for participants. The training sessions were a mix of theory and practice and the team were given the opportunity to put the new/refreshed skills to work in a ‘real’ work session. Indeed our CEO rated the session as 10/10.” –
